Chapter 263: Semi-finals
Four of the top 12 players were seriously injured and could not participate in the competition, so the original top 12 matches directly became the top 8 games, and two games were played in a row to determine the top two.
When Zhao Hu and other eight players took the luxury maglev train provided by the royal family to the central square of the imperial capital star from the royal manor, the spectators who were already waiting in the square to reminisce about the old days let out excited cheers, and some of them even shouted the name of a certain player.
Affected by the excited cheers of the audience in the square, the eight players sitting on the luxury maglev train involuntarily showed excited looks, and some players even stood up and raised their hands to the audience in the square, which caused the audience to cheer wildly.
The luxury maglev train stopped in the central square, and eight players including Zhao Hu, under the leadership of the staff, boarded the four rings respectively, while looking at the opponent and analyzing the opponent's strength, while quietly waiting for the bell for the opening of the ring battle.
The eight players who stood out from more than 3,000 players, each of them is not a weakling, each of them has a talent and strength far beyond the same people, and each of them is a genius boy of the Huanyu Empire, and they are all strong people in the future of the Huanyu Empire.
Facing an opponent at the same level as himself, Zhao Hu didn't dare to be careless, opened his eyes wide, just stared at the opponent, and echoed in his mind the various methods used by the opponent in the ring battle, as well as the means and abilities that may be used today.
Bite! Bite! Bite!
A crisp bell rang in the central square, and the opening signal of the ring battle was clearly transmitted to the ears of every player.
"My name is Zhou Xu, please advise!"
Hearing the crisp whisper, the handsome young man who was standing opposite Zhao Hu, wearing a black tight-fitting combat uniform, pulled out a sharp long sword from his waist, looked directly at Zhao Hu, and said with a calm face.
After speaking, Zhou Xu didn't wait for Zhao Hu to respond, he kicked the ground with both feet, and his body disappeared in place, like a sharp arrow, approaching Zhao Hu's side, and the sharp sword in his hand was even more swung out, and one after another The fierce sword qi containing terrifying energy shot out from it, with a sharp edge, and quickly slashed towards Zhao Hu's body.
In the face of Zhou Xu's ferocious attack, Zhao Hu's expression remained unchanged, and with a soft shout, a metal ball shot out from his body, quietly suspended beside him, and with his soft drink, it turned into more than ten sharp flying knives, soared into the air, met more than ten fierce sword qi, and ruthlessly shattered it, dissipating into the air.
Immediately after, more than ten sharp flying knives, with a sharp edge, slashed straight towards Zhou Xu's body, a posture of wanting to divide Zhou Xu's body into several sections.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A crisp sound of metal collision sounded in the sky above the ring, and Zhou Xu, who was running rapidly, met with more than ten sharp flying knives, brandished the sharp long sword in his hand, and picked up more than ten sharp flying knives, and approached Zhao Hu's side without slowing down.
In Zhou Xu's impression, Zhao Hu was just a metal ability, as long as he was close to Zhao Hu's side, Zhao Hu manipulated the metal ability, and he could not cause damage to him, and he could easily kill or defeat Zhao Hu.
As for whether Zhao Hu would use the ability to manipulate metal to control the sharp long sword in his hand, Zhou Xu didn't think about it at all, because the sharp long sword in his hand was made of special metals and special materials, and the second-order metal ability could not affect the sharp long sword in his hand at all.
"Sword Formation!"
Seeing more than ten sharp flying knives being picked up by Zhou Xu using sharp long swords, Zhao Hu's expression remained unchanged, and with a light shout, more than ten sharp flying knives instantly split, turning into hundreds of small flying swords, forming a dense sword net, stabbing towards Zhou Xu's body.
In the face of the attack of the dense sword net, Zhou Xu's expression changed slightly, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, he roared angrily, and the sharp long sword in his hand danced out lightly, wanting to destroy the sword array.
It's just that to Zhou Xu's disappointment, although the sharp long sword in his hand picked up some flying swords, more flying swords broke through the defense of his sharp long sword and stabbed into his body fiercely, causing him to let out a terrible scream, and there were hundreds of wounds all over his body, and streams of red blood flowed out of hundreds of wounds. His body weakened instantly.
"I throw in the towel!"
Feeling the hundreds of small flying swords in his body, shaking gently, ready to pierce into the organs and vital points in his body at any time, Zhou Xu's face changed greatly, without the slightest hesitation and hesitation, he immediately threw the sharp long sword in his hand and said loudly.
"Congratulations to Zhao Hu for winning the ring battle and advancing to the top four!"
As soon as Zhou Xu's voice fell, the staff responsible for presiding over the ring battle hurriedly announced loudly.
Immediately afterwards, the two big men quickly stepped into the ring and carried the injured Zhou Xu down, and the hundreds of small flying swords that pierced into Zhou Xu's body shot out of Zhou Xu's body with Zhao Hu's soft drink, quickly fused into a metal ball, and returned to Zhao Hu's body.
After winning the ring battle and being promoted to the semi-finals, Zhao Hu set his sights on the other rings and carefully observed the fighting skills and combat skills used by the other players.
Zhao Hu won the battle in the ring and was the first to advance to the top four, which surprised the other three players in the ring, and the movements in his hands involuntarily increased a lot, wanting to defeat the opponent as much as possible and end the battle.
Soon, under the strong attack of Zhang Lei, Song Liangmujian, and the three third-order warriors, the three players were defeated one after another, making the semi-finals officially over.
As soon as the top four were produced, the royal family members who were responsible for presiding over the ring battle immediately let Zhao Hu, Zhang Lei, Song Liang, and Mujian board the two rings to open the semi-finals and determine the two strongest.
"Boy, your skills are good, are you interested in being my subordinate and serving me, I can spare your life so that you don't die tragically in the ring!"
Wearing a white robe, the handsome and dashing Zhang Lei stood at one end of the ring, looked at Zhao Hu with a proud face, and said in a flat tone.
Zhang Lei's proud look and flat tone, as well as his strong and cold words, made Zhao Hu's brows furrow slightly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he retorted in a murderous voice: "Today next year is your death day!" ”
As soon as Zhao Hu's voice fell, Zhang Lei's eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold killing intent was released from his body, locking Zhao Hu tightly, ready to move at any time to kill Zhao Hu ruthlessly.
Feeling Zhang Lei's cold killing intention, Zhao Hu's expression remained unchanged, and he snorted coldly, and a rich murderous aura emanated from his body, forming a thin protective shield, blocking Zhang Lei's killing intention.
"Such a fierce killing machine, such a fierce eyes, coupled with the mysterious origin of this person, is definitely a huge threat to himself, he must be killed to prevent future troubles!"
Feeling Zhao Hu's fierce killing intent, Zhang Lei secretly thought in his heart that the killing intent on his body was getting stronger and stronger, like a monster that eats responsibly.
Bite! Bite! Bite!
A crisp bell rang in the central square, clearly reaching the ears of every player.
"Holy Light Bullet!"
As soon as the crisp bell rang, Zhang Lei, who had been prepared, raised the white scepter in his hand and snorted softly, and the gem at the top of the white scepter released a brilliant holy light, and a basketball-sized holy light bullet, with terrifying power, crossed the sky and shot towards Zhao Hu's body.
In the face of more than ten basketball-sized holy light bullets attacking, Zhao Hu's expression remained unchanged, and with a light shout, a metal ball flew out of his body, turning into more than ten sharp flying knives, soaring into the air, meeting more than ten holy light bullets, detonating them in mid-air, making a violent explosion sound, arousing a bright light.
Then, under the powerful explosive power, the flying knives that were blown into dozens of blades, under the control of Zhao Hu, quickly transformed into dozens of small flying swords, with sharp edges, lightning across the void, and stabbed straight towards Zhang Lei's body.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of metal collision sounded in the sky above the ring, and a small flying sword slammed into Zhang Lei's body, but it was resisted by the holy light shield outside Zhang Lei's body, and it could not pierce into Zhang Lei's body.
"Holy Light Purification!"
Glancing at the dozens of small flying swords blocked by the shield of holy light, Zhang Lei's expression changed slightly, and he roared, the white scepter in his hand shone loudly, and a rich and extremely bright aura was released from it, and a stream of holy light that burned and purified a qiē spread out, wrapping Zhao Hu, making Zhao Hu's skin tingle for a while, and his whole body seemed to melt.
"Look for death!"
Feeling the discomfort of his body, Zhao Hu roared angrily, pulled out the stinger pistol from his waist, and shot at Zhang Lei, the powerful stinger bullet slashed through the void like lightning, hitting Zhang Lei with great accuracy, shattering the holy light shield outside Zhang Lei's body, and then fell to the ground weakly, making a crisp sound.
Immediately afterwards, dozens of small flying swords blocked by the Holy Light Shield, at the moment when the Holy Light Shield shattered, turned into afterimages, with sharp edges, and stabbed into Zhang Lei's eyebrows, neck, eyes and other critical places, so that he couldn't even let out a terrible scream, and fell to the ground weakly, slowly losing the breath of life.
As soon as Zhang Lei fell to the ground, two big men carried Zhang Lei down for treatment, as for whether he could be rescued, it depended on his luck. R1058
